New Rome to Milan High Speed Train

Tuesday December 16, 2008
Italy's newest high speed train connecting Rome to Milan started service December 14. The 300 mile route now takes only 3 1/2 hours, making it one hour less than other trains, according to an Associated Press report. While it's more expensive than the slower trains, it's a little less costly than flying and is more convenient than having to get to and from the airport.

The high speed trains are the way to go. But if you’re not in a hurry, it’s a beautiful ride.
